Poo... feces.

Wherever legitimate tracks are found there's always some fresh scat, y'know,poo, flop, dumplings.

Use a clean container to catch yourpoo. Do not let yourpoo touch the toilet water.

Ashley starts necking Imodium; Devin promises himself he will not crap in a bag while on a cruise with his future father-in-law; Abhi, the chef, notes that the unworking loos filled withpoos layered with toilet paper look “like a lasagne”.
In the sense of feces,poo has traditionally been considered a childish word, but it is now routinely used in adult public information materials by UK public health bodies and other institutions.
The dog practically has topoo on his shoe before he can make the pinch.

People had topoo in bags, you see. Jan had to get on the public address system and explain to thousands of disbelieving passengers that “number ones” could be done in the shower but “number twos” must be done in the red biohazard bags being distributed, then placed in corridors for collection by unnamed staff, none of whom chose to appear in this documentary.

Why I Cut Down on the “Poo”: A Note from Melissa[…] People are saying no to “poo”—shampoo, that is. A very famous hairstylist to the stars (who has gorgeous hair himself) admits that he never washes his hair with shampoo. He’s not the only one to swear by the no-poo approach.
To date, the onlyPoos who have received any serious attention from the AKC are the Labradoodle (Labrador Retriever and Poodle) and the Cockapoo (Cocker Spaniel and Poodle).

There’s no club for Maltipoo breeders yet, so your best bet is to look for a breeder of otherPoo dogs.
2007, Renee Riva,Saving Sailor,David C. Cook, page64:
My sister has always wanted a little peekapoo, probably because they are kind of prissy, like she is. Personally, I never much cared forpoo dogs of any kind, especially poodles. White french poodles are theworst.
And I looked at what I call the “poo” dogs, the currently fashionable/popular combos of cockapoo, yor-kiepoo, maltipoo, and a whole bunch of other “poos” that seemed unpredictable to me as to how big they would be, and what traits they would have of either breed.
‘What kind of dog is Eddie?’ I asked curiously. ‘He’s a Westiepoo.’ ‘A what?’ ‘Westiepoo,’ repeated Nikki, ‘a West Highland White Terrier/Poodle mix. I’m pretty much obsessed withpoos.’ ‘We have plenty of that round here,’ I said, ‘so you’ve come to the right place.’ ‘You might have worded that better, Nikki,’ said Max and she laughed. ‘I’m obsessed with poodle hybrids,’ Nikki explained.
She kept the bookmarks firmly on the “poo” dogs. “Come on! Just look. They’re irresistible!” She kept scrolling through sites for Maltipoos, Shih-poos and Yorkipoos.
